Cosmic Rays, TCN production, depth production

Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of this video, you will be able to:
  • Calculate surface exposure age and erosion rate using cosmogenic nuclide concentrations and production rates, applying the appropriate equations.
  • Explain how radioactive decay affects cosmogenic radionuclide concentrations over time and the concept of secular equilibrium.
  • Evaluate different assumptions used in exposure dating and erosion rate calculations, including the effects of burial and multi-nuclide approaches.
